Mountain Lions -

Sorry for multiple posts today - I'll slow down - I promise.

This is kind of obscure to post, but it is pretty neat and I'm sure someone will enjoy looking at the images.
We took the pictures, but we didn't take the pictures....

During the Spring/Summer/Fall my wife and I run a trap line. Except instead of traps, we use motion cameras to capture our prey. This way they go home and so do we! Everyone is happy.

This weekend we were checking one of our cameras. We had set this particular camera up for a bobcat that we have recently seen in the area. The camera had only been out for a week.

Much to our surprise, when we reviewed the images on the camera, we had a pair of last years Mountain lion cubs. They hung out at the camera for about 15 minutes and it managed to take a few dozen images. On some of the images, you can see slight spots from last year that have not yet completly faded.

There are a few more images in the "Last Few Months" gallery on our site - (link above)

Hope you enjoy them -

Jaime,

I like the fact that you are sample natural animal behavior and putting them at no risk, as far as I can tell. Since you place the camera and therefore decide the one and only set of perspectives, then you are the photographer, no0 matter how it turns out. I'm interested also in the beauty of the lighting on the wood and grass. Why is it so nice?

Is this a tiny aperture and a relatively slow shutter speed? How are you setting the delay?

Jaime,

Thanks so much for sharing these and the squirrel.

Are you using something like one of the game cameras sold by Cabela's?

I have often thought about setting one up in my yard. A lot of wildlife goes through it but I don't see much of it.
